Summary

In the month of July, we are celebrating Evidence Locker’s third birthday and our 150th episode. For the last episode in our Blockbuster series, we explore the true crime case behind the Australian Noir film, Snowtown.

Warning:

This episode contains references to child abuse and details of severe torture of adult victims by homophobic killers and would not be suitable for sensitive listeners.
